Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this Bluthner exceptional at this price?

A large Bluthner rosewood grand at this price is an extraordinary proposition. Bluthner is one of the world's great piano makers, and at this size and price level the instrument offers a tonal depth, warmth, and harmonic complexity, amplified by Bluthner's unique aliquot stringing system, that approaches the very finest concert instruments available. The rosewood cabinet adds a visual distinction that is exceptionally rare. Very few instruments combine this level of musical quality, visual magnificence, and heritage at this price point.

How does a large Bluthner compare to a Steinway or Bosendorfer at a similar price?

All three are among the greatest piano makers the world has produced, and at this level the comparison is genuinely between different philosophies rather than different quality levels. The Steinway has power, projection, and brilliance. The Bosendorfer has depth, darkness, and Viennese warmth. The Bluthner has a lyrical, harmonically complex singing quality that is uniquely its own, enhanced by the aliquot system. A buyer at this level should play all three. We stock grands from all three brands and are delighted to facilitate this at our showroom.

What is Bluthner's aliquot stringing system?

Bluthner's patented aliquot stringing adds a fourth, unstruck sympathetic string to each note in the upper register. This string vibrates freely in sympathy when the note is played, adding a distinctive shimmer and harmonic richness to the treble that is unique to Bluthner. At this size and string length, the effect is particularly beautiful and contributes significantly to the instrument's reputation for tonal depth and singing quality.

Is a large Bluthner rosewood grand a sound investment?

Large Bluthner grands in exceptional cabinets are among the rarest and most desirable instruments on the piano market. The combination of a concert-capable Bluthner in a rosewood cabinet at this price represents outstanding value compared to the cost of a comparable new instrument. These pianos have historically held and increased their value, particularly as the supply of quality examples diminishes.

How long will this Bluthner last?

A Bluthner grand of this calibre, properly maintained, should give many decades of concert-level performance. The structural integrity of the instrument is effectively permanent. Regular tuning, periodic regulation and voicing by a skilled technician, and correct environmental conditions are the requirements for keeping this exceptional instrument at its finest.
